German-born Alexander Dietze learned about Germany’s history and the Holocaust in school, but it wasn't discussed at home. Raised in a secular household, he became a Christian in his early 20s. Years later, an abrupt awakening came when his grandfather offered him Nazi SS medals as part of their family heritage. This moment spurred Alexander and his wife, Cäcilia, to found the ministry Back to Zion, dedicated to helping Holocaust survivors in Israel. Each week, the Dietzes invite Holocaust survivors to their home, sharing their story, providing meals, singing Israeli songs in Hebrew, and gifting bouquets of flowers.

A troubling trend is emerging in the world's largest democracy. Millions of Indians believe the country belongs to Hindus and that all other religions, including Christianity and Islam, must be eliminated from society. Human rights groups have accused India's Prime Minister and his government of supporting the extremist view. It's led to a surge in violence against Christians often with tacit approval from the central government.

David Baker had stage four melanoma. A tumor on the side of his face had suddenly grown so huge he couldn't see out of his right eye, and he could barely eat. Surgery wasn't an option. Chemo wasn't an option. Doctors said there was nothing they could do for him. David was suffering more and more, day by day. Still, he managed to get to church on Easter morning, and that's where he received a miracle. "When you're going to the doctor and you hear nothing encouraging, that's when your faith, it's going to have to stand," says Jerilyn Baker. In November 2020, her husband David started having constant nose bleeds. Doctors removed a polyp from his sinus cavity. But soon after, things got worse. They needed a miracle...

CBN NewsWatch AM: July 8, 2024 Will Joe Go? Democrats Begin to Line up Against the President FULL STORY: https://www2.cbn.com/news/politics/will-joe-go-democrats-begin-line-against-president President Biden made the rounds this weekend at a church in battleground Pennsylvania, joking slightly about the escalating questions regarding his age and mental faculties. "I know I look like I'm 40 years old," Biden quipped. "I've been around a little bit. It's heck turning 40. All kidding aside... I have never been more optimistic about America's future if we stick together." More and more Democrats are questioning Biden's attempt to stay in the race after his dismal debate performance. "He should be mopping the floor against Donald Trump," far-left Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff of California told Meet the Press on Sunday. Biden's one-on-one interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos didn't quiet the critics. At one point Biden couldn't even remember if he watched his debate performance. "I don't think I did, no," Biden said.

John Burke, a pastor and author who has studied and examined over 1,000 accounts of near-death experiences, believes these reports provide faith-building evidence of God and the Bible. Burke, author of the new book "Imagine the God of Heaven: Near-Death Experiences, God’s Revelation, and the Love You’ve Always Wanted," told CBN Digital why he believes these experiences corroborate Scripture and detailed what a near-death experience entails. FULL STORY: https://www2.cbn.com/news/us/pastor-who-has-studied-1000-near-death-experiences-says-claims-visiting-heaven-prove-bible "It's when someone clinically dies ... their heart stops, they have no brain waves," Burke said. "And yet either modern medicine or miracle brings them back ... minutes later, sometimes it's hours." He continued, "And when they come back, they talk about experiencing the life to come, and they talk about how it's more real than anything they've ever experienced in this world." Burke said his latest book looks at scores of interviews with people from all over the world who've had these clinical near-death experiences. "They are seeing and experiencing the God of Scripture," he said. "And we're looking, not only at His love story told throughout history in the Bible, but also his heart and characteristics, the mystery, the majesty of God." Burke, though, knows not everyone believes these heaven visitation stories, and explained exactly why he thinks there's so much skepticism. He said one factor is a failure to understand that "these are testimonies" that shed light on God's nature. Another is the complexities that come from trying to describe other-worldly experiences using human language. Watch him explain. CBN News.

As we celebrate our country's independence and freedom, there's perhaps no greater symbol than the American flag, often called the Star Spangled Banner.

The 4th of July makes us think of our independence and freedoms. And recent legal battles over religious liberty in the U.S.A. raise serious questions about the freedom to worship in America. So when our Founders came up with the First Amendment, were they trying to keep the government free from religion, or religion free from government? These days, the Left uses the phrase "wall of separation between church and state" to mean keeping God or His believers from having a big effect on government and public life. But that’s far, far from what the Founding Fathers were thinking of when they were separating church and state...

China's increasing worldwide influence is a major debate in this presidential election year. It centers on whether the Chinese Communist Party is viewed as a friendly competitor or an enemy of the United States. Recently, investigative journalist and author Peter Schweizer detailed China's efforts to undermine America from within. Schweizer contends Communist China is at war with America, sowing chaos and death without firing a shot. He makes that argument in the book Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans. "China has a strategy, they call it disintegration warfare that says, look, we don't want to have a kinetic fighting war with the United States because that would lead to all kinds of disruption and damage in China," Schweizer explained. "So, we're going to try to beat them by not going to war, but by undermining them nonetheless."

The U.S. Supreme Court has released its decision regarding presidential immunity in the case involving President Trump's actions on Jan. 6, 2021. While the court did issue some major rulings about immunity, the justices chose not to rule directly in Trump's specific case, kicking it back down to the lower courts. That move will delay special counsel Jack Smith's criminal case against Trump, likely pushing it until after the November election.

For the second time in a decade, Christian baker Jack Phillips appeared before the Colorado Supreme Court Tuesday. The small business owner who refuses to make cakes with messages that violate his religious beliefs says he's been targeted by the state, and he is not the only one making that claim. Phillips' current case is over his refusal to make a "gender transition cake," which his Alliance Defending Freedom attorney Jake Warner argues is protected by freedom of speech and religion. Phillips has said he believes the Bible teaches God created people either male and female, and it's wrong when people try to change that. "Phillips serves all people," Warner said in court Tuesday, "He just can't express every message." CBN News. Because Truth Matters™ Download the free CBN News App: http://cbnnews.com/app

Hostage talks are set to start again, but Israel is drawing a hardline: Either Hamas frees those hostages by Ramadan or the I.D.F. will target the terrorists last stronghold in Rafah during the Muslim holy month. When Hamas attacked Israeli communities on October 7th, much of the world initially stood with Israel. AT&T says the hours-long cell phone outage on Thursday was not a malicious attack.
